If I go back to bed now that I'm awake I'll lay there and fidget and wake OH and he'll say he's been sleeping with a windmill I'd rather sit here with a coffee and check my emails and noodle on a couple of fora/ums.

I suppose I'm retired now and don't have to get up early any more, but why should anyone get up at 5 unless they are working? I'd go to the loo and go back to bed!

I'm like you Busy-Lizzie, wake up early go to the loo then go back to bed to sleep till about 8.30 when the dog comes to tell me that it walkies time I don't mine that as I used to get up at 05.30 to get ready for work, thank goodness that's over with.

now I'm going to suggest that next year all the people who cant have that little extra laying in can meet up my allotment for coffee biscuits and a load of manuring,it would be a great help to me and i,ll see you all in an hour,no shirking now !!
